10. EarthQuaker Devices Sea Machine V3
7.2/10 our score
- A chorus pedal with as many modulation possibilities as there are fish in the sea
- Capable of tones from subtle, shimmery chorus sounds, to wobbly, warbly pitch-bent detuning
- Works well following fuzz/overdrive/distortion pedals without getting muddy, lowering in output, or breaking up
- When engaged, the Sea Machine’s transparent buffer leaves the all-analog dry signal unaltered and crystal clear
- Controls allow for everything from subtle warble, classic Leslie, seasick pitch bends, strangled alien sounds, stunted arpeggiations and many more far out sounds
- Improved circuitry for better performance, cleaner sound, and lower noise with more range added to almost every control from subtle modulation to extreme oscillation
- A true-bypass pedal that uses silent relay-based soft touch switching
